"White Weekend Spectacular"

Here it is....drum roll please... ...the opening day of our "At Home with White Event". The layout in the tent was too beautiful for words. All the shop girls really stepped up to the plate and hit a home run with this one! (sorry if some of my pics are blurry)

Below is Mary Ellen (shop owner) welcoming the first of those in line Here's Sandi of "A Cottage Muse". We both snapped pics of each other at the same time in the excitement of the opening moments. I think she has the one of me on her site. Isn't she lovely? Some of Sandi's pretties...always something to catch the eye and grab the heart

Another peek into Sandi's space...even with the shadow you can see how sweet her things are.

Here is one view of Karen K.'s spot. Her space was just dreamy, elegant, and over the top gorgeous!One side of Mary Ellen's space. She had incredibly unique goodies...something to swoon over for everyone.

Unique displays abound...

... Is this just the sweetest ever?

Jeannie always blows us away with her knack for beauty everywhere. I had to buy that lovely chiffon fringed scarf that you see hanging there...plus a couple other goodies from her.... :)

Maureen and Peter wowed everyone as always! They have such a knack for refinishing and restoring....

So thrilled to get the chance to meet two fellow bloggers. From left to right...Susan from Evelyn and Rose, Me, Michelle from Petite Michelle Louise, and Sandi (my fellow shop girl) who introduced us all. Susan and Michelle are beautiful inside and out and it was such a treat to meet them. Hoping for a future shopping trip with these lovely gals!

Always excited when Jo-anne Coletti of "Vintage Rose Collection" stops by the store. Sandi and I were so thrilled that she graciously posed with us for a pic. (That's Sandi on the left, me in the center, and Jo-anne on the right) with her adorable pooch in her purse. Jo-anne is a fabulous artist, blogger, and now author who has just published her own magazine. Check it out on her site.

Just HAD to snap a shot of Jo-anne purchasing a tall window from my space. The other side of it was perfectly shabby white! I think she's going to paint some of her fabulous roses on it!!

Here's a few shots of my space...I had so much fun with it!

Another shot of Mary Ellen's space...

Here's two of our talented shop girls...Jeannie and Mary

More Shop Girls..... Karen, Maureen and Sue having a quick lunch break

Here's Mary Ellen under this smaller tent, ringing up the outside sales...always smiling and ready to help.

Ooooh la la... Paris anyone?

Some outside displays... Just look at that mirror Other treasures... Sue's spot...she has a wonderful way with white Mary and I on the last day. Tired and lovin' it!

All in all, it was a dream come true for me and all the shop girls. This was our first event like this and it was a smashing hit. I hope it'll be an annual event that will grow larger every year. The possibilities are endless. Thanks to all our customers and blogging friends for their support and wishes!

As always~ Blessings and Hugs,

So busy....

Just wanted to pop in and say hello to everyone. I've been super busy getting ready for the big "At Home with White Event" @ the Wrentham Country Store. I would be ashamed to show you what my house looks like right now. Every room is filled with either furniture for the event, lovelies being created, or goodies being painted (or waiting to be painted.) You know it's getting bad when the sons are grumbling through the maze. I've promised them that life will get back to semi-normal after this coming weekend.

I'm also planning on freshening up my nest once I can get out from under these projects. I've decided to try for a bit of a french look in my living room since that seems to be the one room that needs a lift right now. I hope to share some pics tomorrow of just a few of the things I've been working on for this weekends big event. I'm so excited. It's a first for our store and all the shop girls are working so hard to make it a big success. Hope to see you all there.

Blessings and Hugs,

Karen

A Vintage Market Event

We're having a first time ever event at the Wrentham Country Store and if you're anywhere in the area (or even need to travel a bit) this will be worth it. We're holding a vintage market themed "At home with white"

We're renting a big tent for all our treasures and some of the theme will be carried inside the store as well. Items in the tent will be "never offered before" items (as in no existing stock from our spaces) so this will be a fresh look for everyone. All the shop girls are busy hunting unique items for your decorating pleasure. White and cream shades of everything shabby, french, farmstyle, and rustic, mixed with textures of burlap, silver, mecury, industrial...you get the picture.

So mark your calendars for April 9th and 10th...you won't want to miss this. And if you don't live nearby to Wrentham, MA, wouldn't this be a great time to dust off your maps (or plug in your GPS) and take a little roadtrip? Shake off that cabin fever and come out and join us..... .and tell all your friends too!

Just have to mention that I had the pleasure of popping into my parents attic yesterday and I found two vintage storage barrels with just the right french/industrial look for this sale. So excited!!!!

Hope to see you all there...and be sure to say hi!

Blessings and hugs,

Karen
